Colonel Sullivan.

Colonel John l.. Sullivan, the pugnacious plugger of the prize ring, perambulates around the pullucid precincts of London. The Prince of Wales is almost in sane with inordinate desire to lay his royal eyes on the "reformer" from the city Of pork and beans" :" A banquet was given last even ing to the Colonel at the Bull Dog" club, at which the elite of London bruisers beatifed the beauty from Boston.
 The following telegram was read at the banquet from the Prince of Wales:
 'BALMoRAL, Nov, 1887.
 My dear Colonel.-It has been the one great object of my life to witness an exhibition of your peel ing powers. My mother, wife and children are also very anxious to see you stripped.

Please answer.
 Yours sincerely, EDWARD,

TEc DiviEing Rcd.

Inc history of the uses of the
 divining rods shows that they
 were first used in antiquity mainly
 or wholly for moral purposes;
 that in the middle ages their en-
 ployment was for long period
 confined to the discovery of mate
 rial objects; that toward the end
 of the seventeenth century the
 moral use was again asserted, and
 that in the eighteenth century the
 divining rod was relegated to the
 material sphere, and assumed the
 comparatively modest functions
 in the discharge of which it still
 fingers among us.
 It will be remembered that the
 Egyptian sorcerers confronted by Moses carried rods, as Moses and
 Aaron also did. The prophet Hosea denounces the use of rods
 for the divination by the Jews.
 According to another prophet the King of Babylon consulted rods or arrows to decide hls course. The Scythians, Persians and Medes
 used them. They were used
 throughout the Orient, and by the Turks, for divination: also by the ancient Germans as related by Tacitus. The application of the divining rods in historical an tlquity was mainly or wholly moral; that is, it was employed to detect guilt, decide future events, advise courses of action, etc.
 The use of the rod to discover hidden treasure or metallic ore became general in Germany, and was extended thence through Flanders, England, Sweden, France, Italy and Spain before the seventeenth century. Its use in thls country was first known after the discovery of gold in Cali fornia, since which it has appeared in every mining camp, and there always were found ignorant and credulous people to give it cred ence and belief.
 The best scientific explanation of the movements of the divining rod was by a French sayant, Chevreul, in 1853. He ascribes tke movements of the rod to minute. unconscious, muscular movements, and these are caused, he thinks, by the imagination or or unconscious decision, or explanation of the operator. An impression that the rod will dip at a certain point, or wish that it would, or even in some minds fear that it may do so, are all eff fective causes of the peculiar mus cular movement. The application of the rod to the discovery of | coal, buried treasure, etc., is shown abundantly to be chimer- ical. The rules and methods as well as the asserted performance of its professors, contradict each other, and innumerabIe failures and exposures have justly covered with ridicule their pretensions.
 A Paris workingman named Barthes asked his wife to look down a well, and as she did so pushed her in. When she came to the surface and screamed for Delp he let down the bucket, and she clinging to it, he drew her up, making her think he was going to save her. When nearly to the top le let her drop again into the we'll, and, as she still refused to lie, he flung large stones on her. The neighbors interfered, and one ,f them Lut ladder down and brought the woman, still alive, up ,n it, the husband, meantime, do ng every thing in his power to hinder the rescuers.

The greatest variety of fish mentioned on

which includes fifteen varieties; the next
